West Indies coach Daren Sammy believes history can repeat itself as he aims to mastermind a T20 World Cup victory to end India's hopes, just as he did when captain 10 years ago. The West Indies have not reached the semi-finals since lifting their second T20 World Cup a decade ago. West Indies skipper Hope has at his disposal a potent spin attack, seam bowlers with variety and incredible batting power. His side have already blasted 66 sixes, a record for a T20 World Cup. "That's what makes an athlete, that's what makes competition, that's what makes a World Cup the pinnacle of your sport."
